Auburn Man Sentenced

A 24-year-old Auburn man has been sentenced to 14 years in prison on a manslaughter charge for the death of his girlfriends eight month old daughter. Todd Gamache had been charged with murder but pleaded guilty to the lesser charge in February as part of an agreement with prosecutors that would cap his sentence at 20 years.

The victim, Emmy-Leigh Cole, was the daughter of Gamache’s girlfriend. Officials said the baby died after being rushed to a hospital with severe injuries in March 2007.
